Maharaja Bistro & Cafe - Lauderhill, Florida

Beautiful restaurant, great atmosphere and energy, 5 stars there. Staff seemed pleasant enough, gave 3 stars for service for the unexpected service fee and wasnt offered my receipt. The food was middle of the road, got the butter chicken medium temp just to be able to taste all the spices and flavors but was lacking end up adding a few pinches of salt. Portion size could of been bigger but ok with it. The garlic naan and butter naan was underwhelming and slightly rubbery 3 stars for the food. 40 dollars I wont get back but 40$ theyll never get from me again. If the price was halved I might still not go back.

Alright found my new spot with all the tantalizing flavors I was craving. My first time dining in. Really impressed. My first choice was Maharaja Lamb Karahi (Must try 5 star/5 star). So good. Still dreaming about it. The Garlic Naan was perfectly made fresh with the best herbs and spices. Last, the Mango Lassi was the perfect pair to balance the Medium Heat Spice that I selected. Overall a hidden Gem that everyone should enjoy. Will make my way back again to try another new dish my taste buds are mouthwatering for.

Wow! My first experience at an Indian restaurant, and I am absolutely in love with the food! From the vibrant flavors to the aromatic spices, everything was absolutely perfect. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I can't wait to return and explore more of their delicious offerings. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic Indian cuisine — a truly fantastic dining experience!

Honest review; we came out this place because our favorite Indian spot was closed. This place stays open until 12am which is good for late night dinners. The atmosphere even before walking in is amazing! It’s a small restaurant but nice and cozy. Service upon walking in was okay- there was a male whom did not approach the table after sitting us not even to ask if everything was good. The waiter began taking our order then disappeared, someone else came and took our order.
Food: we ordered several naans, garlic, potato, and cheese. The cheese was our favorite! They all came nice and crispy and “hot”.. so it was nice to eat right away.
We ordered a mango Laci which was good! If you don’t like thick smoothies I suggest to skip this one, it was nice and thick! But well balanced not overly sweet! The Chai tea came nice and hot but no manner how many sugars were added to the cup the flavor was just not there. I would not order again.
We ordered three Biryani(s)
Veggie
Chicken
Lamb
The portions are good enough to share; it was six of us and we took half of each rice back.
I had the lamb Biryani..for me it lacked flavor and the lamb was chewy. I could not enjoy it much so I picked around the rice and eggs. For the most part everyone enjoyed their meals until one of waitress started vacuuming so loud which I then looked at her and when asked if everything was okay I told her she was ruining the eating atmosphere with the vacuum. The owner I assume a tall lady who had previously greeted us nicely came to save the day.. we were then given complimentary desserts to I guess salvage the experience.
Overall, if you are hungry and need something to eat late at night; this place is definitely opened until 12am.

We searched for Indian food near us and this place popped up. Food looked good so we tried it out. We were not disappointed!

The food was amazing! We had chicken vindaloo and maharaja shrimp karahi with garlic and Aloo naan. Everything was hot and fresh. We ordered ours spicy and it was really good. Had just the right amount of spicy. The kingfish lager I had paired well with the food. The food was good size portions, we took home left overs.

The restaurant was beautifully decorated. Love the green chairs. It’s not huge but just the right size and there is outdoor seating. I would recommend making a reservation for dinner.

I would definitely recommend going here. The prices are fair, the food is delicious and the service was excellent. I like the mint in the water pitcher, nice touch.

The Indian food here has flavor and originality. The customer service is welcoming and pleasing… The atmosphere is calming with the chimes and water fall outside if you want to sit outside to eat.. It’s like a garden of the oasis… Try it I believe you will like it if you do like Indian food. By the way, the are open late up to 12 on weekends..

Hands down the best Indian food in South Florida! Every dish is full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The staff is warm and welcoming, and Moon, our waitress, was absolutely amazing—so kind, attentive, and helpful with recommendations. Can’t get enough of this place! We’ll definitely be back again and again.
